Filter by:Radiation therapy after surgery to remove breast cancer improves control of the breast cancer. Standard therapy after breast conservation surgery is five to six weeks of radiation to the entire breast. This clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of conformal radiation therapy delivered only to the area in the breast where the lumpectomy will be performed. This study will determine if radiation therapy delivered in this manner will prevent the cancer from coming back and eliminate the need for five to six weeks of radiation. Eligible participants will be randomized to one of two arms; Arm 1 which is comprised of one neoadjuvant radiation treatment, or Arm 2 which is comprised of three neoadjuvant radiation treatments. The study will also gather information about the safety and effects (good and bad) this radiation has, the immune priming effects of this radiation, and on patient satisfaction with the appearance of the breast.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of surveillance breast MRI compared to mammography alone in women with a personal history of breast cancer
A multicenter randomized controlled trial to evaluate the performance of MRI, in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value, in the screening of women at intermediate risk of breast cancer. Two surveillance programs will be compared. Women will be randomly assigned with a 1:1 ratio to: 1. Yearly two-view mammography (Mx) and breast ultrasonography (US) or 2. Yearly MRI.
Phase I Multicenter, Open-label, Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Study of Lurbinectedin (PM01183) in Combination with Capecitabine in Patients with Unresectable Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC), Pancreatic Cancer (PC) or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) to determine the recommended dose (RD) of PM01183 in combination with capecitabine, to characterize the safety profile, to explore the feasibility of PM01183 dose optimization, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK), to obtain preliminary information on the clinical antitumor activity of this combination and to conduct an exploratory pharmacogenomic (PGx) analysis.
Rationale: Prediction of prognosis in patients with breast cancer is important to determine the indication for adjuvant chemo-, endocrine- and immunotherapy. Apart from the clinicopathological parameters incorporated into the Adjuvant!Online predictive model, the validated 70-gene signature MammaPrint® is predictive of outcome too. MammaPrint® is advised in the current Dutch CBO guideline (2012) for hormone receptor positive, invasive ductal breast cancer in individual cases when there is 'doubt' about the indication for adjuvant chemotherapy based on traditional prognostic factors. In the present study MammaPrint® is used in this CBO 2012 guideline defined group of patients as an additional test for decision-making for adjuvant chemotherapy. Objective: To assess the impact of MammaPrint® on clinical decision making regarding the administration of adjuvant chemotherapy in the CBO 2012 guideline defined group of hormone receptor positive invasive ductal carcinoma patients when there is doubt about the indication for adjuvant chemotherapy based on traditional prognostic factors. The influence of various factors and the impact of MammaPrint® in predefined subgroups will be analyzed too. Data from a national registry regarding adjuvant systemic treatment in patients with similar clinicopathological characteristics in whom MammaPrint® was not used will be obtained to provide a control group. Hypothesis: In the group of patients where national guidelines advocate using systemic therapy but doctors are ambivalent in treating patients with adjuvant chemotherapy, it is hypothesized that using MammaPrint® as an additional test will change the indication for adjuvant therapy in a substantial proportion of patients resulting in at least 10% less patients who receive adjuvant chemotherapy. Thus, in the study group at least 10% less patients will receive chemotherapy when compared to a contemporary group of patients with similar clinicopathological characteristics but without using MammaPrint® Study population: Hormone receptor positive, invasive ductal breast cancer patients when there is doubt about the indication for adjuvant chemotherapy based on traditional prognostic factors. Study design: This is a prospective multicentre impact study.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of olaparib and vistusertib (AZD2014) or olaparib and capivasertib (AZD5363) when given together in treating patients with endometrial, triple negative breast cancer, ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back (recurrent). Olaparib, vistusertib, and capivasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Paclitaxel plus Epirubicin in metastatic breast cancer is a recommended scheme in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline. Paclitaxel in Combination with Carboplatin is also effective in Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) in some clinical study with small sample.
Gemcitabine plus carboplatin in recurrent or metastatic breast cancer is a recommended scheme in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline. gemcitabine in combination with capecitabine is also effective in Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) in some clinical study with small sample.
This study will evaluate LumaScan, an innovative polarization microscope for real time, intraoperative imaging and evaluation of the surface of excised tissue excised during Breast Conservation Surgery (BCS) for non invasive and invasive breast cancer. The investigators hypothesis is that LumaScan will be comparable for cancer detection to conventional histopathologic evaluation of the same areas of breast tissue. The real time, intraoperative images provided by LumaScan will help improve BCS and lessen the need for BCS re-excision surgeries which can lead to higher cost, poor cosmetic outcomes, reduced survival rates, and loss of confidence in the tissue conservation surgery procedure.
RATIONALE: Currently, adjuvant endocrine therapy often follows a "one-size-fits- all" approach, with most premenopausal women receiving tamoxifen, and most postmenopausal receiving aromatase inhibitor therapy. In current clinical practice, patients with invasive lobular carcinoma are treated no differently than patients with invasive ductal carcinoma based on the void of information specific to patients with this tumor type. Identification of a biological signal of tamoxifen and/or AI-resistance and/or fulvestrant-sensitivity in ILC patients would have dramatic implications for the future management of this breast cancer subtype. PURPOSE: To study whether fulvestrant is more effective than anastrozole or tamoxifen in reducing Ki67 in ILC and whether that Ki67 reduction will correlate with alterations in expression of ER and ER-regulated genes. Differential Ki67 effect in this study will serve as a surrogate for outcome of ILC patients on endocrine therapy. Primary Objective: To determine the change from baseline to post-treatment Ki67 values in ER-positive, HER2-negative ILC tissue derived from postmenopausal women awaiting definitive surgery or further neoadjuvant treatment who are randomized to 21-24 days of neoadjuvant endocrine treatments with fulvestrant (two 250 mg IM injections given on day 1), anastrozole (1mg given orally daily), or tamoxifen (20mg given orally daily).
